Airtimes Theming Intensity Too short
Fēnix is a fantastic addition to Toverland. The theming is beautifully immersive and the ride is smooth with an innovative layout. The helix is super intense and seemingly endless whilst riding. Fēnix is definitely too short, but it's a great B&M wing coaster.

First Drop Theming Ejectors Rattle
Lost Gravity is a fun coaster. It delivers strong ejector and hang time moments (especially on the first drop). The theming is eccentric with a queue through a bus and up a stationary escalator. It does have an annoying rattle but it's still worth riding.

Discomfort Launch Airtimes
when you see all those airtime hills back to back, you would expect some airtime right? also the lap bar comes down insanely far.

Airtimes Intensity Capacity
I didn't know I was going to miss this ride so much I loved it, everything was amazing the view right on the beach the launch. I couldn't tell you how many times I've rode wicked twister

Pointless
I was waiting for something to happen. At least it's a smooth ride

Airtimes Launch Ejectors Reliability
I only got to ride Top Thrill 2 twice back in May so I feel like I can compare it to dragster and TT2 is better in every way. The seats sit up much higher so when your going over the top hat it feels way different believe me. And the 420ft spike you get launched into at 100mph going backwards is probably the best part of the whole ride. I really wish I could've rode it more but maybe next year...

Airtimes First Drop Layout
The pre-drop on Raging Bull causes the front part of the train to start going down the hill while the back part is still on the straight track. If you're in the back section, you see all the rows in front of you disappear, and then all the weight of the train pulls you, so you go flying down the hill, experiencing a lot of sustained ejector. It's definitely my favorite ride in the park and has surpassed many B&M hypers on my list.

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors
Orion opened in July of 2020 but I went to the First Rider Auction Night that was on July 1st, 2020. I was able to ride Orion 18 times that night. Over the years now I've ridden in pretty much every row and in multiple different times of day and weather conditions. Imo night time is the best to ride as well as right after a downpour when the track is wet. It's a toss-up between front or back, but right now I'm leaning towards the back row since I love getting whipped through the elements. you get snapped over the first drop in the back row. The front row isn’t as good as the back row, yes the visuals and the wind in your face are awesome and you’ll get a front-row seat for that 300ft 85 degree drop but that’s about it the forces just aren’t there. Now front row rides in the rain are different, Orion seems to run much faster in the rain and thankfully Kings Island doesn’t shut down its coasters because of rain 10 miles away like all the Florida parks. A front-row ride on Orion in the rain was an insane experience, it felt even more intense because of all the rain hitting me in the face. I can’t lie it was painful but that didn’t stop me from marathoning until I couldn’t anymore. Orion is quality over quantity Orion has so many good elements, The turnaround with the dive down( just like Fury325) the kinda wave turn The camelback gives good floater airtime The Helix is unique and very forceful the way you twist up and then twist down gives massive positive G’s with intensity. And the speed hill Coming off the turnaround gives good airtime and I can’t think of many B&M’s with a speed hill like that other than maybe Mako. The twisted dip before the breaks might be the best part of the ride. Now The first drop is amazing it seems to not level out like some other coasters so that 300ft drop just seems steeper and I love that about Orion. Overall you get Great Lateral airtime, yes The pop into the break is pointless but It’s got Positive G’s and Negative G’s with laterals The drop alone is worth the wait. The King's Island opps run Orion flawlessly 3 trains running with good load times and it’s always a train on the lift hill. Sad to say but That’s not the case for Millennium Force and Intimidator 305 The lift hill is quiet and fast the ride is so good you can’t believe that it’s been 3 minutes already. Orion’s theming is also top tier everything in Area 72 is, the former X-BASE
